A Husband, A Father and A Son of A Mighty God

The More I…

God has worked on me hard-core this past year. I’m noticing that every thing in my life that I have tried to hold too tightly, once I let go of it, something better takes its place.

The more I try to keep my independence in marriage, the less I feel connected to Jenni. I don’t feel as loved, I don’t feel at peace and I am certainly not all that happy. When I give up my independence, focus on being one, start sharing everything and striving to be selfless. Amazing connection happens and everything in our marriage feels better.

The more I try to hold on to every dollar I earn the less I have to meet our family’s needs. When I commit to giving back to God first no matter how scary it is in the moment, our money goes further. God surprises me every month with provision and opportunity.

The more I try to fight for my beauty sleep (I need a lot) the more interruptions seem to occur. When I take time to be alone with God, pray with the family, connect with a friend or stay up late talking to Jenni. Somehow, I just get by on less and everything works out. It seems my attitude makes all the difference.

My challenge to myself is to treat every moment as a gift and look for every possible way to bless someone around me with those moments. It’s not about me, it’s not about you, it’s all about a Creator and Redeemer transforming us to be like Him. Let’s encourage each other in this transformation process and look for ways to be selfless.
